INTRODUCING Pop Tennis @ Ignite
ATP Pros Playing POP Tennis!
(Tommy Haas & Justin Gimelstob)
Once you "POP",
You can't stop!
What is POP Tennis?POP Tennis (short for POPular tennis), is tennis played on smaller courts with paddle rackets, lower compression tennis balls (green) and with the same scoring and rules as normal tennis, except that players only get one underhand serve.Benefits of POP Tennis:- Playing on a smaller court means less distance to cover and as a result less running and ** wear and tear** on the back, legs, feet and shoulders.- Rallies are generally longer and there is more fun and exciting net play and (net) poaching.- Increased hand speed/quickness and develops faster hand/eye coordination. Your reflexes and reaction time will be quicker, so that you will feel as if you have far more time to react, move toward, and hit the ball.POP Tennis can significantly improve your tennis game.
